On page C1 of todays Daily Sun there is a Q&A on lightning rods. It states "lightning rods won't prevent a lightning strike, but "might" intercept a strike and and give the electricity a conductive path. The don't guarantee a home won't catch fire." So consider that along with the fact that in the two recent storms 1 house of 50,000 was damaged in each storm and form your own conclusions if you want to spend the money to, as someone else has stated, "to produce of sense of piece of mind" whatever that is.
